In the face of hatred, they smiled. This historic Stonewall photo captures pure defiance & joy - standing proud when being 2S&LGBTQQIA+ meant arrest. Their courage inspires us at OUTniagara to keep building inclusive spaces where everyone can be themselves. 🏳️‍🌈 #Pride365 #CommunityStrength #OUTniagara
A black and white photograph from the Stonewall era shows a group of young people standing together outside the boarded-up Stonewall Inn. Despite the circumstances, they are all smiling at the camera, displaying remarkable defiance and joy. Above the photograph is a social media post by Erin Reed explaining the historical context - that these individuals were facing arrest simply for being LGBTQ+, yet chose to stand proudly and smile even as they faced intense societal hatred. The post emphasizes the powerful symbolism of their resistance through joy.

A large crowd of protesters holding signs at a Black Lives Matter demonstration. Many participants are wearing face masks and holding up black and white signs with "BLACK LIVES MATTER" written on them. The crowd appears densely packed, with various other protest signs visible including one that says "Justice for" in the frame. The image shows a diverse group of people, with many wearing protective face masks, suggesting this was taken during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The signs are predominantly in black and white text, though some pink and other colored signs can be seen in the background.

Hello, we're new here.
The logo for "OUTniagara" features a circular emblem with rainbow-colored abstract figures representing people joined together in a community formation. The organization's name "OUTniagara" appears in bold black text to the right of the emblem. Below the main text is the tagline "Uniting Niagara's Sexual and Gender Diverse Community" in a smaller font. The entire logo incorporates a subtle rainbow gradient underline that spans the width of the design, emphasizing the 2S&LGBTQQIA+ inclusive nature of the organization.
